Yup, thatās what I was reading in the Community, so I figure why not, especially with my guy there knocking another $30 off the price. I guess it helps when youāre buying a whole bunch of stuff at the same time!
Would you know what this one is called? Iām sure I can find it, (could be a good Christmas gift for me? )
Thanks, I did good there, my PRS sounds so, so much better than my Squier Bullet. And then reminds me, need to plug that in and see if the new amp helps it at all.
Great amp - and definitely the right choice getting the 100 watt version. You get the extra āpresenceā knob, but the absolute deal-breaker for me is the 100wt version has an effects-loop, the 50wt version doesnāt.
I used to have the 50wt version, but when I started using a loop pedal, I needed the effects-loop.That way you can record a ācleanā loop and then play over the top of it with any effects added without affecting the loop.
No effects- loop means any effects added( for lead etc) is applied to your guitar . . . And the loop, which makes it pretty much unusable.
Hope that makes sense- nearly ended up confusing myself
Ps never did manage to access Boss Tone studio . . .anyone got any install tips?
I also have a Katana 100W but one of the first ā¦ And would agree with Frankybaby. The effectsloop is for me a must have. Since I use the looper almost everyday/every practice sessionā¦
And 100W is more then enoug even in a band settingā¦ but most of the time it just sits at 5W when practicing at home.
I donāt use the tone studio, but tinker around with my pedalboard.
I do like a 2x12 cabinet, but its so heavy and unpractical.
I expect that someday I will try some pedal or looper thingy. Havenāt a clue what to do with any of that. Perhaps when I get into Grade 3?.. For now, Iām pretty happy with just the clean setting and crunch.
Hey Rebecca,
did you ever get yourself a foot pedal to control your Katana?
Iām in the market & have heard some good things about the XSONIC Airstep pedal/controllerā¦ Hereās a link:
it looks to be even better & a bit less expensive that the Boss pedal.
If you already have something, let me know what you have & how itās working out for you!

P.S. I highly recommend a looper - I have the Boss RC-1 & really like it! If I ever buy another one, I buy something that has a drum machine built in, but for basic looping (which can be a LOT of fun BTW) it does a good job!
I have not. Itās just me, my Katana and my PRS (with new strings, finally!) I shall look into that Sonic though, always up for drooling over things I donāt have.
I know what you mean!!! I have wishlists on both Sweetwater & Musicianās Friend for stuff I probably wonāt EVER needā¦ If I got them, Iād probably not even take the time to learn how they work!!!
I was following your thread for the string changeā¦ so weird that they donāt do a better job of identifying the stringsā¦ I had a package of strings years ago that werenāt marked & ended up having to re-string because of the b & e strings. Not sure which brand, it wasnāt PRS though, Iāve never bought those.
Anyway, hope youāre having fun with the Katana, Rebecca!
Iāve had both the GA-FC for the Katana, and the Airstep.
I would say, the Airstep isnāt quite as nice as the GA-FC, and I canāt put my finger on why. Having said that, Iāve not tried the Airstep KAT Edition.
I found the Airstep a bit more fiddly to set up than the GA-FC, which is plug-n-play, but it does give you more capabilities.
If you have a Katana 50, then the Airstep is a no-brainer, as the GA-FC isnāt available for that. But with a Katana 100, Iām not really quite sure. Personally, I think I would probably still go with the GA-FC or even the GA-FX EX.
But I still have the Airstep so, if I ever get a new Katana, I would probably use that on it to start with.
